Response: Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!

that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O LORD! How long?

that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
Make us glad, for the days when you afflicted us,
for the years when we saw evil. Response

and your glory by their children;
and may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands! Response
